Michelle McClements

BSc (Hons), PhD

Senior Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Michelle is an experienced research scientist with over 15 years’ expertise in molecular biology and gene therapy developments for the treatment of inherited retinal diseases. Since joining Professor MacLaren’s group in 2010 as a Knoop Junior Fellow at St Cross College, she has led significant projects, including an MRC-funded study developing a dual vector treatment for Stargardt disease. Building on this foundation, Michelle now oversees the group’s research pipeline, coordinating project development and ensuring strategic alignment with broader research goals. She plays a key role in mentoring PhD students and fostering a collaborative environment to drive innovation in CRISPR-based molecular tools and the development of retinal organoid platforms for screening and validating gene therapies.
